Manchester United supporters staged a tennis ball protest against the club's ownership during the UEFA Champions League league phase match against AS Roma at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The demonstration, which took place during the fourth matchday of the 2026-27 Champions League campaign, targeted the Glazer family and minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Fans threw tennis balls onto the pitch in a coordinated display of dissent against the club's hierarchy.
The protest highlights ongoing supporter frustration with the ownership structure despite Ratcliffe's acquisition of a 25% stake and control of football operations earlier in 2024. United's match against the Italian side formed part of the new single-league Champions League format.
